[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many kids repress sexual molestation until they have kids that are their age when it happened (or nieces/nephews). That very likely happened and is why she is just telling you now. Depression could 100% be linked to childhood trauma.

Honestly if I was married to someone who knew this information and did not share before a trip like this, I would 100% be filing for divorce. This is not information you keep to yourself. You have young children. You need to tell her. Immediately. You are not because you know she will likely pull the kids from the vacation, which is the appropriate response.

And then he’d have the kids half the time to take on family trips.

Yes he should tell. He’s a bad person if he doesn’t. But divorce might not be the answer in a case like this. Possibly taking kids to visit family members who were never convicted of a crime, much less formally accused or charged, isn’t going to keep him from getting custody. On his days, what are you going to do to prevent him from visiting his mom, who lives with stepdad? Think it through before you start making threats or grand statements of how you’d handle it.
